Hello Ashley,

Let's go over your tank setup first.  :-)
Your dragon is a 1 year old female then?    
What type & brand of UVB light do you have, is it a flourescent tube bulb, or a compact or coil light?  How old is the light?  If it is older than 5 months or so, it is time to replace the light for optimal UVB output.
What type of basking light are you using?  Is it a bright white basking light or a colored bulb?  
How are you measuring the temps, with a stick on type of thermometer, a digital probe with a wire & sensor, or a temp gun?
The recommended basking temps for an adult are 95-105 & the cooler end around 78-82.  What sized tank is she in?
Do her hipbones protrude?  How do her eyes look, are they bright or sunken in?  How about her skin, is it wrinkly or tight over her body?
How do her stools look, are they runny or firm, & is she putting out urates (white portion) with the stools most of the time?
Are you supplementing calcium & if so, what type & brand, & how often?  At 1 year, she still needs calcium at least 3 times per week.
By lettuce, do you mean ice berg lettuce or other greens such as mustard greens, or collard greens?  Ice berg or romaine lettuce are not good staples, because it is not very nutritious.  Opt for the darker green ones such as mustard greens, collard greens, dandelion greens, turnip greens, escarole, & endive.  
The diluted gatorade or diluted pedialyte is fine, for dehydration.  You can use that daily for awhile until she is hydrated again.  
Once I know what your husbandry is, we can go from there.
